In Vietnames indigenous culture, children often sleep with their parents until they are over 6 years old. This also greatly affects the activities of the parents. The bedroom is expanded to accommodate an extra baby's bed as a separate room. When the curtain is closed, the privacy is guaranteed. In addition, lots of relaxing reading spaces and yards for babies to play are added to relieve the pressure on the mother to take care of the family.
